The Annual Financial Filings were not filed on or before the Filing Deadline due to the nature of business of the Company, location of the Company's subsidiaries and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has been advised by its auditors, DMCL LLP, that they need more time to complete the audit.

The Company will provide updates as further information relating to the Annual Financial Filings becomes available.
The Company has applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities and received a management cease trade order ("MCTO") imposed against the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company precluding them from trading securities of the Company. The MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Financial Filings are filed, and requires that the Annual Financial Filings be filed on or before December 27, 2021.
Until the Annual Financial Filings are filed, the Company intends to issue bi-weekly default status reports in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders. The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines during the period it remains in default of the filing requirements.
